Is it possible to scale drawableleft & drawableright in textview?

Question

I have TextView with drawableLeft & drawableRight in List item. The problem is, whenever the height of TextView is larger, drawableLeft & drawableLeft didn't automatically scale based on the height of the TextView.

Is it possible to scale the height of drawableLeft & drawableRight in TextView ? (I was using 9 patch image)

Answer 1

This might help you out. There are two properties scaleX and scaleY

The code below will scale down the image and the text with 30%. Therefore you have to increase the font size with that many "sp", so that when it get re-sized (scaled) it would fit the "sp" you prefer.

Example. If I set the font to 18, then 30% out of 18 is 5.4sp, so roughly, this is the value I am targeting at, because when it gets scaled, it would become 13sp

<TextView         android:textSize="18sp"         android:scaleX="0.7"         android:scaleY="0.7" 

The last thing to do is set the CompundDrawable.

tview.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.xxx), null, null, null);
